1.0) About:
|
|
---- ------
|
|
ScummVM is a collection of interpreters, capable of emulating several
|
|
adventure game engines. ScummVM mainly supports games created using
|
|
SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion), used in various
|
|
LucasArts games such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, and others.
|
|
|
|
ScummVM also contains interpreters for several non-SCUMM games. Currently
|
|
these are Beneath a Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 & 2, Flight of the Amazon Queen,
|
|
Gobliiins, Inherit the Earth, Simon the Sorcerer 1 & 2 and The Legend of
|
|
Kyrandia.
|
|
|
|
At this time ScummVM should be considered beta software, and is still
|
|
under heavy development. Be aware that whilst we attempt to make sure
|
|
that many games can be completed with few major bugs, crashes can happen.
|
|
|
|
If you enjoy ScummVM feel free to donate using the PayPal button on the
|
|
ScummVM homepage. This will help us buy utilities needed to develop ScummVM
|
|
easier and quicker. If you cannot donate, help and contribute a patch!
|
|
|
|
2.0) Contacting:
|
|
---- ----------
|
|
The easiest way to contact the ScummVM team is by submitting bug reports or
|
|
commenting in our forums. You can also join and e-mail the scummvm-devel
|
|
mailing list, or chat with us on IRC (#scummvm on irc.freenode.net)
|
|
Please do not ask us to support an unsupported game -- read the FAQ on our
|
|
web site first.
|
|
|
|
2.1) Reporting Bugs:
|
|
---- ---------------
|
|
To report a bug, please create a SourceForge account and follow the bugs
|
|
link from our homepage. Please make sure the bug is reproducible, and
|
|
still occurs in the latest daily build/current SVN version. Also check
|
|
the known bugs list (below) and compatibility listing for that game, to
|
|
ensure the issue is not already known.
|
|
|
|
Also do not report bugs on games that are not listed as being completable
|
|
in the 'Supported Games' section, or compatibility list. We -know- those
|
|
games have bugs.
|
|
|
|
Please include the following information:
|
|
- ScummVM version (PLEASE test the latest SVN/Daily build)
|
|
- Bug details, including instructions on reproducing
|
|
- Language of game (English, German, ...)
|
|
- Version of game (talkie, floppy, ...)
|
|
- Platform and Compiler (Win32, Linux, FreeBSD, ...)
|
|
- Attach a save game if possible
|
|
- If this bug only occurred recently, please note the last
|
|
version without the bug, and the first version including
|
|
the bug. That way we can fix it quicker by looking at the
|
|
changes made.
|
|
|
|

The following games are SCUMM engine, but NOT supported by ScummVM (yet).
|
|
|
|
Other Humongous Entertainment titles
|
|
|
|
Please be aware that the engine may contain bugs and unimplemented features
|
|
that sometimes make it impossible to finish the game. Save often, and please
|
|
file a bug report (instructions on submitting bug reports are below) if you
|
|
encounter such a bug in a 'supported' game.
|
|
|
|
3.1) Copy Protection:
|
|
---- ----------------
|
|
The ScummVM team does not condone piracy. However, there are cases when
|
|
LucasArts themselves bundled cracked interpreters with their own games --
|
|
the data files still contain the copy protection scripts, but the interpreter
|
|
bypasses them. There is no way for us to tell the difference between legitimate
|
|
and pirated data files, so for the games where we know the original interpreter
|
|
may have been cracked ScummVM will always have to bypass the copy protection.
|
|
|
|
Wyrmkeep Entertainment kindly let us skip protection in floppy version of
|
|
Inherit the Earth since it was disabled in all CD releases of the game.
|
|
|
|
At the time of writing, that includes the following games:
|
|
|
|
Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade (EGA)
|
|
Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade (FM-TOWNS version)
|
|
Inherit the Earth (floppy version)
|
|
Loom (16 color floppy version)
|
|
Maniac Mansion
|
|
Monkey Island 1 (EGA)
|
|
Monkey Island 1 (VGA)
|
|
Monkey Island 2
|
|
Zak McKracken (EGA)
|
|
Zak McKracken (FM-TOWNS version)
|
|
|
|
Beneath a Steel Sky (bypassed with permission from Revolution)
|
|
Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb
|
|
|
|
In some cases ScummVM will still show the copy protection screen. Try entering
|
|
any answer. Chances are that it will work.
|
|
|
|
3.2) Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2 notes:
|
|
---- ---------------------------------
|
|
If you have the dual version of Simon the Sorcerer 1 or 2 on CD,
|
|
then you will find the Windows version in the main directory of the CD
|
|
and the DOS version in the DOS directory of the CD.
|
|
|
|
3.3) Broken Sword notes
|
|
---- ------------------
|
|
Broken Sword 1 and 2 both come with in-game cutscenes compressed using
|
|
RAD Game Tools legacy Smacker(tm) format. As RAD is unwilling to open
|
|
the older legacy versions of this format to us, and have requested we not
|
|
reverse engineer it, Revolution Software has kindly allowed us to provide
|
|
re-encoded Broken Sword cutscenes for download on our website.
|
|
|
|
These cutscenes are provided in MPEG2 format with OGG Vorbis audio.
|
|
Viewing these cutscenes thus requires a version of ScummVM compiled
|
|
with both libmpeg2 (preferably 0.4.0 or greater) and libVorbis support.
|
|
|
|
The cutscenes should be placed in the main game data directory. Note that
|
|
currently this requires either copying the game to harddisk or reburning
|
|
customised versions of the game CDs.
|
|
|
|
3.4) Flight of the Amazon Queen notes
|
|
---- --------------------------------
|
|
In order to use a non-freeware version of Flight of the Amazon Queen (i.e.
|
|
your own), you will need to have the 'queen.tbl' file (available from the
|
|
Compatibility page on our website) in either the directory containing the
|
|
'queen.1' datafile or in the directory where your ScummVM executable resides.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use the 'compress_queen' tool from the Tools module to
|
|
'rebuild' your FOTAQ datafile to include the table for that specific version,
|
|
and thus removing the run-time dependency on the 'queen.tbl' file.
|
|
This tool also allows you to compress the speech and sound effects with MP3,
|
|
OGG or FLAC.
|
|
|
|
3.5) Beneath a Steel Sky notes
|
|
---- -------------------------
|
|
As of ScummVM 0.8.0 you need the additional SKY.CPT file to run Beneath a
|
|
Steel Sky.
|
|
|
|
This file is available on the 'Compatibility' page of the ScummVM
|
|
website, you can place it in either the directory containing the other
|
|
datafiles (SKY.DNR, SKY.DSK) or in your extrapath.
|
|
|
|
3.6) Inherit the Earth notes
|
|
---- -----------------------
|
|
In order to run the Mac OS X Wyrmkeep re-release of the game you will need to
|
|
copy over data from the CD to your hard drive. If you're on a PC then consult:
|
|
|
|
http://www.scummvm.org/documentation.php?view=maccd-howto
|
|
|
|
Although it primarily talks about SCUMM games, it mentions the "HFVExplorer"
|
|
utility which you need to extract the files.
|
|
Note that you have to put the speech data "Inherit the Earth Voices" in the
|
|
same directory as the game data which is stored in:
|
|
|
|
Inherit the Earth.app/Contents/Resources
|
|
|
|
For old Mac OS9 release you will need to copy files in MacBinary format,
|
|
i.e. they should have both resource and data forks. Just copy all 'ITE *' files.
|
|
|
|
3.7) Gobliiins notes
|
|
---- ---------------
|
|
The CD version of Gobliiins contains one big audio track which you need to rip
|
|
(See the section on using compressed audiofiles) and copy into the game
|
|
directory if you want to have music and not have the CD in the drive
|
|
all the time.
|
|
|
|
3.8) The Legend of Kyrandia notes
|
|
---- ----------------------------
|
|
To run The Legend of Kyrandia under ScummVM you need the kyra.dat file,
|
|
which can be found in the Downloads section of the ScummVM website.
|
|
|
|
3.9) Maniac Mansion NES notes
|
|
---- ------------------------
|
|
Supported versions are English USA (E), French (F), German (G), Swedish (SW)
|
|
and European (U). ScummVM requires just PRG section to run and not whole ROM.
|
|
|
|
In order to get the game working, you will have to strip out the first
|
|
16 bytes from the ROM you are trying to work with. Any hex editor will work
|
|
as long as you are able to copy/paste. After you open the ROM with the
|
|
hex editor, copy everything from second row (17th byte) to the end. After
|
|
you do this, paste it to a new hex file. Give the new file name
|
|
"Maniac Mansion (XX).prg" where XX depends on version you are working
|
|
with (E, F, G, SW, or U). The final size should be exactly 262144 bytes.
|
|
|
|
If you add game manually make sure that platform is set to NES.
|
|
|
|
Most common mistakes which prevent game from running:
|
|
|
|
o Bad file
|
|
o ROM extracted with the 0.7.0 tools
|
|
o You try to feed ScummVM with the FULL rom and not just the PRG section.
|
|
|
|
Also it is possible to extract separate LFL files from PRG section. Use
|
|
extract_mm_nes utility from tools package.
|
|
|
|
3.10) Commodore64 games notes
|
|
---- -----------------------
|
|
Both Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken run but Maniac Mansion is not yet
|
|
playable. Either use extract_mm_c64 (but then game will not be autodetected)
|
|
or name D64 disks as "maniac1.d64", "maniac2.d64" and "zak1.d64", "zak2.d64"
|
|
respectively. If you add the game manually, make sure that platform is set to
|
|
Commodore64.
|
|
|
|
3.11) Known Problems
|
|
---- ---------------
|
|
This release has the following known problems. There is no need to report them,
|
|
although patches to fix them are welcome. If you discover a bug that is not
|
|
listed here, nor in the compatibility table on the web site, please see
|
|
the section on Reporting Bugs.
|
|
|
|
CD Audio Games:
|
|
- When playing games that use CD Audio (Towns variants, Loom CD, etc),
|
|
users of Microsoft Windows 2000/XP may experience random crashes.
|
|
This is due to a long-standing Windows bug, resulting in corrupt
|
|
game files being read from the CD. Please copy the game data to
|
|
your harddrive to avoid this.
|
|
|
|
FM-TOWNS versions:
|
|
- The Kanji versions require the FM-TOWNS Font ROM
|
|
|
|
Humongous Entertainment games:
|
|
- No support for printing images
|
|
|
|
Loom (EGA):
|
|
Monkey Island 1 (EGA):
|
|
- MIDI support requires the Roland update from LucasArts
|
|
|
|
Beneath a Steel Sky:
|
|
- Amiga versions aren't supported
|
|
- Floppy demos aren't supported
|
|
- Not a bug: CD version is missing speech for some dialog, this is
|
|
normal.
|
|
|
|
Broken Sword 1:
|
|
- Macintosh version isn't supported
|
|
- PlayStation 1 version isn't supported
|
|
|
|
Broken Sword 2:
|
|
- PlayStation 1 version isn't supported
|
|
|
|
Flight of the Amazon Queen
|
|
- Amiga versions aren't supported
|
|
|
|
Inherit the Earth
|
|
- Amiga CD version isn't supported
|
|
|
|
Simon the Sorcerer 1:
|
|
- Amiga versions aren't supported
|
|
- Subtitles aren't available in the English and German CD versions,
|
|
they are missing the majority of subtitles.
|
|
|
|
Simon the Sorcerer 2:
|
|
- Combined speech and subtitles will often cause speech to be
|
|
cut off early, this is a limitation of the original game.
|
|
- Only default language (English) in data files is supported
|
|
in Amiga and Macintosh versions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.0) Supported Platforms:
|
|
---- --------------------
|
|
ScummVM has been ported to run on many platforms and operating systems.
|
|
Links to these ports can be found either on the ScummVM web page or by a
|
|
Google search. Many thanks to the effort of porters. If you have a port of
|
|
ScummVM and wish to commit it into the main SVN, feel free to contact us!
|
|
|
|
Supported platforms include (but are not limited to):
|
|
|
|
UNIX (Linux, Solaris, IRIX, *BSD)
|
|
Windows
|
|
Windows Mobile (iPAQ and other handheld devices)
|
|
Mac OS X
|
|
AmigaOS
|
|
BeOS
|
|
Dreamcast
|
|
PalmOS
|
|
Playstation 2
|
|
Playstation Portable
|
|
RISC OS
|
|
Symbian
|
|
|
|
The Dreamcast port does not support Curse of Monkey Island, nor The Dig.
|
|
The PalmOS port does not support Curse of Monkey Island, Beneath a Steel
|
|
Sky, nor either Simon the Sorcerer 1 or 2. The Dig will only work on some
|
|
Palm devices (those with a large dynamic heap).
|
|
|
|
In the Macintosh port, the right mouse button is emulated via Cmd-Click (that
|
|
is, you click the mouse button while holding the Command/Apple/Propeller key).
|
|
|
|
For the following platforms, custom backends were supported at one point
|
|
but currently are not being maintained (usually due to lack of a qualified
|
|
maintainer). In some cases (e.g. Linux), the standard SDL support works
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
Linux (includes iPAQs running Linux)
|
|
MorphOS
|
|
GP32
|
|
|
|
We have reports about unofficial ports to the following platforms. Please
|
|
note that these are not made by us, so we neither endorse nor support them.
|
|
Use at your own risk!
|
|
|
|
Nintendo DS
|
|

|
|
|
5.0) Running ScummVM:
|
|
---- ----------------
|
|
Before you run the engine, you need to put the game's datafiles in a
|
|
directory. The filenames must not be in mixed case on *nix systems
|
|
(for example, these are valid names: "monkey2.000", "MONKEY2.000", while
|
|
this is a bad one: "Monkey2.000"). If you use a game with speech, the file
|
|
monster.sou must reside in the same directory as the datafiles.
|
|
|
|
Please note that by default, ScummVM will save games in the directory
|
|
it is executed from, so you should refrain from running it from more than
|
|
one location. Further information, including how to specify a specific save
|
|
directory to avoid this issue, are in section 6.0.
|
|
|
|
ScummVM can be launched directly by running the executable. In this case,
|
|
the in-built launcher will activate. From this, you can add games (click
|
|
'Add Game'), or launch games which have already been configured.
|
|
|
|
ScummVM can also be launched into a game directly using Command Line
|
|
arguments -- see the next section.
|
|
|
|

|
|
configuration file.

5.3) Graphics filters:
|
|
---- -----------------
|
|
ScummVM offers several anti-aliasing filters to attempt to improve visual
|
|
quality. These are the same filters used in many other emulators, such as
|
|
MAME. These filters take the original game graphics, and scale it by a
|
|
certain fixed factor (usually 2x or 3x) before displaying them to you.
|
|
So for example, if the game originally run at a resolution of 320x200
|
|
(typical for most of the SCUMM games), then using a filter with scale
|
|
factor 2x will effectively yield 640x400 graphics. Likewise with a
|
|
3x filter you'll get 960x600.
|
|
|
|
They are:
|
|
1x - No filtering, no scaling. Fastest.
|
|
2x - No filtering, factor 2x (default for non 640x480 games).
|
|
3x - No filtering, factor 3x.
|
|
2xsai - 2xsai filter, factor 2x.
|
|
super2xsai - Enhanced 2xsai filtering, factor 2x.
|
|
supereagle - Less blurry than 2xsai, but slower. Factor 2x.
|
|
advmame2x - Doesn't rely on blurring like 2xSAI, fast. Factor 2x.
|
|
advmame3x - Doesn't rely on blurring like 2xSAI, fast. Factor 3x.
|
|
hq2x - Very nice high quality filter but slow. Factor 2x.
|
|
hq3x - Very nice high quality filter but slow. Factor 3x.
|
|
tv2x - Interlace filter, tries to emulate a TV. Factor 2x.
|
|
dotmatrix - Dot matrix effect. Factor 2x.
|
|
|
|
To select a graphics filter, pass its name via the '-g' option to scummvm,
|
|
for example:
|
|
|
|
scummvm -g advmame2x monkey2
|
|
|
|
Note #1: Not all backends support all or any filters. The ones listed above
|
|
are for the default SDL backend.
|
|
|
|
Note #2: Filters can be very slow when ScummVM is compiled in a debug
|
|
configuration without optimizations. And there is always a speed impact when
|
|
using any form of anti-aliasing/linear filtering.
|
|
|
|
Note #3: The FM-TOWNS version of Zak uses an original resolution of 320x240 -
|
|
hence for this game scalers will scale to 640x480 or 960x720.
|
|
|
|
5.4) Hot Keys:
|
|
---- ---------
|
|
ScummVM supports various in game hotkeys. They differ between the SCUMM and
|
|
other games.
|
|
|
|
Common:
|
|
Cmd-q - Quit (Mac OS X)
|
|
Ctrl-q - Quit (other unices including Linux)
|
|
Ctrl-z OR Alt-x - Quit (other platforms)
|
|
Keyboard Arrow Keys - Simulate mouse movement
|
|
Ctrl-f - Toggle fast mode
|
|
Ctrl-m - Toggle mouse capture
|
|
Ctrl-Alt 1-8 - Switch between graphics filters
|
|
Ctrl-Alt + and - - Increase/Decrease the scale factor
|
|
Ctrl-Alt a - Toggle aspect-ratio correction on/off
|
|
Most of the games use a 320x200 pixel
|
|
resolution, which may look squashed on
|
|
modern monitors. Aspect-ratio correction
|
|
stretches the image to use 320x240 pixels
|
|
instead, or a multiple thereof
|
|
Alt-Enter - Toggles full screen/windowed
|
|
|
|
SCUMM:
|
|
Ctrl 0-9 and Alt 0-9 - Load and save game state
|
|
Ctrl-d - Starts the debugger
|
|
Ctrl-g - Runs in really REALLY fast mode
|
|
Ctrl-t - Switch been 'Speech only',
|
|
'Speech and Subtitles' and 'Subtitles only'
|
|

|
[ and ] - Music volume, down/up
|
|
- and + - Text speed, slower/faster
|
|
F5 - Displays a save/load box
|
|
Space - Pauses
|
|
Period (.) - Skips current line of text in some games
|
|
Enter - Simulate left mouse button press
|
|
Tab - Simulate right mouse button press
|
|
|
|
Beneath a Steel Sky:
|
|
Ctrl-d - Starts the debugger
|
|
Ctrl-g - Runs in really REALLY fast mode
|
|
F5 - Displays a save/load box
|
|
Escape - Skips the game intro
|
|

|
|
b - Background sounds on/off
|
|
p - Pauses
|
|
t - Switch between speech and subtitles
|
|
v - Switch between subtitles only and
|
|
combined speech & subtitles
|
|
[Simon the Sorcerer 2 only]
|
|
|
|
Note that using ctrl-f and ctrl-g are not recommended: games can crash when
|
|
being run faster than their normal speed, as scripts will lose synchronisation.
|
|
|
|
Ctrl-f is not supported by the Broken Sword games.
|
|
|
|
5.5) Using data files from Macintosh game versions:
|
|
---- ----------------------------------------------
|
|
All LucasArts SCUMM based adventures except COMI also exist in versions for the
|
|
Macintosh. ScummVM can use most (all?) of them, however, in some cases some
|
|
additional work is required. First off, if you are not using a Macintosh for
|
|
this, accessing the CD/floppy data might be tricky, since the mac uses a
|
|
special disk format called HFS which other systems usually do not support.
|
|
However, there are various free tools on the net which allow reading such HFS
|
|
volumes (for example "HFVExplorer" for Windows and "hfsutils" for Linux and
|
|
other Unix-like operating systems).
|
|
|
|
Secondly, most of the newer games shipped only with a single data file on the
|
|
Macintosh. You used to have to manually convert that data file, but this is no
|
|
longer necessary, as ScummVM can now open and understand the format natively.
|
|
|
|
5.6) Multi-CD Games:
|
|
---- ---------------
|
|
In general, ScummVM does not deal very well with multi-CD games. This is
|
|
because ScummVM assumes everything about a game can be found in one directory.
|
|
Even if ScummVM does make some provisions for asking the user to change CD, the
|
|
original games usually install a small number of files to hard disk. Unless
|
|
these files can be found on all the CDs, ScummVM will be in trouble.
|
|
|
|
Fortunately, ScummVM has no problems running the games entirely from hard disk,
|
|
if you create a directory with the correct combination of files. Usually, when
|
|
a file appears on more than one CD you can pick either of them.
|
|
|
|
These instructions are written for the PC versions (which in some case is the
|
|
only version) of the games. Windows and DOS use case-insensitive file systems,
|
|
so if one CD has a file called MONKEY.DAT and another has a file called
|
|
monkey.dat, they are the same files. These instructions give file names in all
|
|
lower-case names, even if that's not always how they appear on the CDs. In
|
|
fact, on case-sensitive file systems you will have to make sure that all
|
|
filenames use either all upper- or all lower-case letters for ScummVM to be
|
|
able to find the files.
|
|
|
|
The instructions for the Broken Sword games are for the Sold-Out Software
|
|
versions, which are the ones you are probably most likely to find in stores
|
|
now.
|
|
|
|
5.6.1) The Curse of Monkey Island:
|
|
------ ---------------------------
|
|
For this game, you'll need the comi.la0, comi.la1 and comi.la2 files. The
|
|
comi.la0 file can be found on either CD, but since they are identical it
|
|
doesn't matter which one of them you use.
|
|
|
|
In addition, you'll need a resource subdirectory with all of the files from the
|
|
resource subdirectories on both CDs. Some of the files appear on both CDs, but
|
|
again they're identical.
|
|
|
|
5.6.2) Broken Sword 1:
|
|
------ ---------------
|
|
For this game, you'll need all of the files from the clusters directories on
|
|
both CDs. You will also need the speech.clu files from the speech directories,
|
|
but since they are not identical you'll need to rename them speech1.clu and
|
|
speech2.clu for CD 1 and 2 respectively.
|
|
|
|
In addition, you will need a music subdirectory with all of the files from the
|
|
music subdirectories on both CDs. Some of these files appear on both CDs, but
|
|
in these cases they are either identical or, in one case, so nearly identical
|
|
that it makes little difference.
|
|
|
|
ScummVM does not support the original cutscene files, so there is no need to
|
|
copy them.
|
|
|
|
5.6.3) Broken Sword 2:
|
|
------ ---------------
|
|
For this game, you'll need all of the files from the clusters directories on
|
|
both CDs. (Actually, a few of them may not be strictly necessary, but the ones
|
|
that I'm uncertain about are all fairly small.) You will need to rename the
|
|
speech.clu and music.clu files speech1.clu, speech2.clu, music1.clu and
|
|
music2.clu so that ScummVM can tell which ones are from CD 1 and which ones are
|
|
from CD 2. Any other files that appear in both cluster directories are
|
|
identical. Use whichever you like.
|
|
|
|
In addition, you will need the cd.bin, cd.inf and startup.inf files from the
|
|
sword2 directory on CD 1.
|
|
|
|
ScummVM does not support the original cutscene files, so there is no need to
|
|
copy them.
|
|
|
|
6.0) Savegames:
|
|
---- ----------
|
|
Savegames are by default put in the current directory on some platforms and
|
|
preset directories on others. You can specify the save in the config file by
|
|
setting the savepath parameter. See the example config file later in this
|
|
readme.
|
|
|
|
The platforms that currently have a different default directory are:
|
|
Mac OS X: $HOME/Documents/ScummVM Savegames/
|
|
Other unices: $HOME/.scummvm/
|
|
|
|
You can also use the environment variable SCUMMVM_SAVEPATH to specify where to
|
|
put save games. Don't forget the trailing directory separator. Also be aware
|
|
that saved games may break between ScummVM releases.
|
|
|
|
Bash (Unix) example:
|
|
export SCUMMVM_SAVEPATH=/tmp/scummvm_savegames/
|
|
|
|
Windows example:
|
|
set SCUMMVM_SAVEPATH=C:\saved_games\
|
|
|
|
6.1) Autosaves:
|
|
---- ----------
|
|
Because ScummVM is still a beta product, it -can- crash and/or hang
|
|
occasionally. As such, every five minutes it will save a game in Slot 0. This
|
|
game can be loaded via Ctrl-0, or the F5 menu. This autosaving does not,
|
|
however, occur with Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2, nor with Broken Sword 1 and 2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.0) Music and Sound:
|
|
---- ----------------
|
|
By default, on most operating systems, ScummVM will automatically use Adlib
|
|
emulation. MIDI may not be available on all operating systems or may need
|
|
manual configuration. If you ARE using MIDI, you have several different
|
|
choices of output, depending on your operating system and configuration.
|
|
|
|
null - Null output. Don't play any music.
|
|
|
|
adlib - Internal Adlib emulation (default)
|
|
fluidsynth - FluidSynth MIDI emulation
|
|
mt32 - Internal MT-32 emulation
|
|
pcjr - Internal PCjr emulation
|
|
pcspk - Internal PC Speaker emulation
|
|
towns - Internal FM-TOWNS YM2612 emulation
|
|
|
|
alsa - Output using ALSA sequencer device. See below.
|
|
core - CoreAudio sound, for Mac OS X users.
|
|
coremidi - CoreMIDI sound, for Mac OS X users. Use only if you have
|
|
a hardware MIDI synthesizer.
|
|
qt - Quicktime sound, for Macintosh users.
|
|
seq - Use /dev/sequencer for MIDI, *nix users. See below.
|
|
windows - Windows MIDI. Uses built-in sequencer, for Windows users
|
|
|
|
To select a sound driver, pass its name via the '-e' option to scummvm,
|
|
for example:
|
|
|
|
scummvm -e adlib monkey2
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.1) Playing sound with Adlib emulation:
|
|
---- -----------------------------------
|
|
By default an Adlib card will be emulated and ScummVM will output the music
|
|
as sampled waves. This is the default mode for most games, and offers the
|
|
best compatibility between machines and games.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.2) Playing sound with FluildSynth MIDI emulation:
|
|
---- ----------------------------------------------
|
|
If ScummVM was build with libfluildsynth support it will be able to play MIDI
|
|
music through the FluidSynth driver. You will have to specify a SoundFont to
|
|
use, however.
|
|
|
|
Since the default output volume from FluidSynth can be fairly low, ScummVM will
|
|
set the gain by default to get a stronger signal. This can be further adjusted
|
|
using the --midi-gain command-line option, or the "midi_gain" config file
|
|
setting.
|
|
|
|
The setting can take any value from 0 through 1000, with the default being 100.
|
|
(This corresponds to FluidSynth's gain settings of 0.0 through 10.0, which are
|
|
presumably measured in decibel.)
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The processor requirements for FluidSynth can be fairly high in some
|
|
cases. A fast CPU is recommended.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.3) Playing sound with MT-32 emulation:
|
|
---- -----------------------------------
|
|
Some games which contain MIDI music data also have improved tracks designed
|
|
for the MT-32 sound module. ScummVM can now emulate this device, however you
|
|
must provide original MT-32 ROMs to make it work:
|
|
|
|
MT32_PCM.ROM - IC21 (512KB)
|
|
MT32_CONTROL.ROM - IC26 (32KB) and IC27 (32KB), interleaved byte-wise
|
|
|
|
Place these ROMs in the game directory or a directory specified by extrapath.
|
|
|
|
You don't need to specify --native-mt32 with this driver, as it automatically
|
|
gets turned on.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The processor requirements for the emulator are quite high; a fast CPU is
|
|
strongly recommended.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.4) Playing sound with MIDI emulation:
|
|
---- ----------------------------------
|
|
Some games (such as Sam and Max) only contain MIDI music data. This once
|
|
prevented music for these games from working on platforms that do not support
|
|
MIDI, or soundcards that do not provide MIDI drivers (e.g, many soundcards will
|
|
not play MIDI under Linux). ScummVM can now emulate MIDI mode using sampled
|
|
waves and Adlib, FluidSynth MIDI emulation or MT-32 emulation using the
|
|
-eadlib, -efluidsynth or -emt32 options respectively. However, if you are
|
|
capable of using native MIDI, we recommend using one of the MIDI modes below
|
|
for best sound.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.5) Playing sound with Native MIDI:
|
|
---- -------------------------------
|
|
Use the appropriate -e<mode> command line option from the list above to
|
|
select your preferred MIDI device. For example, if you wish to use the
|
|
Windows MIDI driver, use the -ewindows option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.5.1) Using MIDI options to customize Native MIDI output:
|
|
------ ---------------------------------------------------
|
|
ScummVM supports a variety of MIDI modes, depending on the capabilities
|
|
of your MIDI device.
|
|
|
|
If --native-mt32 is specified, ScummVM will treat your device as a real
|
|
MT-32. Because the instrument mappings and system exclusive commands of
|
|
the MT-32 vary from those of General MIDI devices, you should only
|
|
enable this option if you are using an actual Roland MT-32, LAPC-I, CM-64,
|
|
CM-32L, CM-500, or GS device with an MT-32 map.
|
|
|
|
If --enable-gs is specified, ScummVM will initialize your GS-compatible
|
|
device with settings that mimic the MT-32's reverb, (lack of) chorus,
|
|
pitch bend sensitivity, etc. If it is specified in conjunction with
|
|
--native-mt32, ScummVM will select the MT-32-compatible map and drumset on
|
|
your GS device. This setting works better than default GM or GS emulation
|
|
with games that do not have custom instrument mappings (Loom and Monkey1).
|
|
You should only specify both settings if you are using a GS device that
|
|
has an MT-32 map, such as an SC-55, SC-88, SC-88 Pro, SC-8820, SC-8850, etc.
|
|
Please note that --enable-gs is automatically disabled in both DOTT and
|
|
Samnmax, since they use General MIDI natively.
|
|
|
|
If neither of the above settings is enabled, ScummVM will initialize your
|
|
device in General MIDI mode and use GM emulation in games with MT-32
|
|
soundtracks.
|
|
|
|
Some games contain sound effects that are exclusive to the Adlib soundtrack.
|
|
For these games, you may wish to specify --multi-midi in order to combine
|
|
MIDI music with Adlib sound effects.
|
|
|
|

7.6.0) Playing sound with Sequencer MIDI: [UNIX ONLY]
|
|
------ ----------------------------------
|
|
If your soundcard driver supports a sequencer, you may set the environment
|
|
variable "SCUMMVM_MIDI" to your sequencer device -- for example, to
|
|
/dev/sequencer
|
|
|
|
If you have problems with not hearing audio in this configuration, it is
|
|
possible you will need to set the "SCUMMVM_MIDIPORT" variable to 1 or 2. This
|
|
selects the port on the selected sequencer to use. Then start scummvm with the
|
|
-eseq parameter. This should work on several cards, and may offer better
|
|
performance and quality than Adlib emulation. However, for those systems where
|
|
sequencer support does not work, you can always fall back on Adlib emulation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.6.1) Playing sound with ALSA sequencer: [UNIX ONLY]
|
|
------ ----------------------------------
|
|
If you have installed the ALSA driver with the sequencer support, then
|
|
set the environment variable SCUMMVM_PORT or the config file parameter
|
|
alsa_port to your sequencer port. The default is "65:0".
|
|
|
|
Here is a little howto on how to use the ALSA sequencer with your soundcard.
|
|
In all cases, to have a list of all the sequencer ports you have, try the
|
|
command "aconnect -o -l". This should give output similar to:
|
|
client 64: 'External MIDI 0' [type=kernel]
|
|
0 'MIDI 0-0 '
|
|
client 65: 'Emu10k1 WaveTable' [type=kernel]
|
|
0 'Emu10k1 Port 0 '
|
|
1 'Emu10k1 Port 1 '
|
|
2 'Emu10k1 Port 2 '
|
|
3 'Emu10k1 Port 3 '
|
|
client 128: 'Client-128' [type=user]
|
|
0 'TiMidity port 0 '
|
|
1 'TiMidity port 1 '
|
|
|
|
This means the external MIDI output of the sound card is located on the
|
|
port 64:0, four WaveTable MIDI outputs in 65:0, 65:1, 65:2
|
|
and 65:3, and two TiMidity ports, located at 128:0 and 128:1.
|
|
|
|
If you have a FM-chip on your card, like the SB16, then you have to load
|
|
the soundfonts using the sbiload software. Example:
|
|
sbiload -p 65:0 /etc/std.o3 /etc/drums.o3
|
|
|
|
If you have a WaveTable capable sound card, you have to load a sbk or sf2
|
|
soundfont using the sfxload software. Example:
|
|
sfxload /path/to/8mbgmsfx.sf2
|
|
|
|
If you don't have a MIDI capable soundcard, there are two options: FluidSynth
|
|
and TiMidity. We recommend FluidSynth, as on many systems TiMidity will 'lag'
|
|
behind music. This is very noticeable in iMUSE-enabled games, which use fast
|
|
and dynamic music transitions. Running TiMidity as root will allow it to
|
|
setup real time priority, which may reduce music lag.
|
|
|
|
Asking TiMidity to become an ALSA sequencer:
|
|
timidity -iAqqq -B2,8 -Os1S -s 44100 &
|
|
(If you get distorted output with this setting, you can try dropping the
|
|
-B2,8 or changing the value.)
|
|
|
|
Asking FluidSynth to become an ALSA sequencer (using SoundFonts):
|
|
fluidsynth -m alsa_seq /path/to/8mbgmsfx.sf2
|
|
|
|
Once either TiMidity or FluidSynth are running, use the 'aconnect -o -l'
|
|
command as described earlier in this section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.7.0) Using MP3 files for CD audio:
|
|
------ -----------------------------
|
|
Use LAME or some other MP3 encoder to rip the cd audio tracks to files. Name
|
|
the files track1.mp3 track2.mp3 etc. ScummVM must be compiled with MAD support
|
|
to use this option. You'll need to rip the file from the CD as a WAV file,
|
|
then encode the MP3 files in constant bit rate. This can be done with the
|
|
following LAME command line:
|
|
|
|
lame -t -q 0 -b 96 track1.wav track1.mp3
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.7.1) Using Ogg Vorbis files for CD audio:
|
|
------ ------------------------------------
|
|
Use oggenc or some other vorbis encoder to encode the audio tracks to files.
|
|
Name the files track1.ogg track2.ogg etc. ScummVM must be compiled with vorbis
|
|
support to use this option. You'll need to rip the files from the CD as a WAV
|
|
file, then encode the vorbis files. This can be done with the following oggenc
|
|
command line with the value after q specifying the desired quality from 0 to 10:
|
|
|
|
oggenc -q 5 track1.wav
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.7.2) Using Flac files for CD audio:
|
|
------ ------------------------------------
|
|
Use flac or some other flac encoder to encode the audio tracks to files.
|
|
Name the files track1.flac track2.flac etc. In your filesystem only allows
|
|
three letter extensions, name the files track1.fla track2.fla etc.
|
|
ScummVM must be compiled with flac support to use this option. You'll need to
|
|
rip the files from the CD as a WAV file, then encode the flac files. This can
|
|
be done with the following flac command line:
|
|
|
|
flac --best track1.wav
|
|
|
|
Remember that the quality is always the same, varying encoder options will only
|
|
affect the encoding time and resulting filesize.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.7.3) Compressing MONSTER.SOU with MP3:
|
|
------ ---------------------------------
|
|
You need LAME, and our compress_scumm_sou utility from the scummvm-tools
|
|
package to perform this task, and ScummVM must be compiled with MAD support.
|
|
|
|
compress_scumm_sou monster.sou
|
|
|
|
Eventually you will have a much smaller monster.so3 file, copy this file
|
|
to your game directory. You can safely remove the monster.sou file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.7.4) Compressing MONSTER.SOU with Ogg Vorbis:
|
|
------ ----------------------------------------
|
|
As above, but ScummVM must be compiled with OGG support. Run:
|
|
|
|
compress_scumm_sou --vorbis monster.sou
|
|
|
|
This should produce a smaller monster.sog file, which you should copy to your
|
|
game directory. Ogg encoding may take a considerable longer amount of time
|
|
than MP3, so have a good book handy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.7.5) Compressing MONSTER.SOU with Flac:
|
|
------ ----------------------------------------
|
|
As above, but ScummVM must be compiled with Flac support. Run:
|
|
|
|
compress_scumm_sou --flac --best -b 1152 monster.sou
|
|
|
|
This should produce a smaller monster.sof file, which you should copy to your
|
|
game directory. Remember that the quality is always the same, varying encoder
|
|
options will only affect the encoding time and resulting filesize. Playing
|
|
with the blocksize (-b <value>), has the biggest impact on the resulting
|
|
filesize -- 1152 seems to be a good value for those kind of soundfiles. Be sure
|
|
to read the encoder documentation before you use other values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.7.6) Compressing sfx/speech in Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2
|
|
------ ----------------------------------------------------
|
|
Use our compress_simon util from the scummvm-tools package to perform this
|
|
task. You can choose between multiple target formats, but note that you can
|
|
only use each if ScummVM was compiled with the respective decoder support
|
|
enabled.
|
|
|
|
compress_simon effects (For Acorn CD version of Simon 1)
|
|
compress_simon simon (For Acorn CD version of Simon 1)
|
|
compress_simon effects.voc (For DOS CD version of Simon 1)
|
|
compress_simon simon.voc (For DOS CD version of Simon 1)
|
|
compress_simon simon.wav (For Windows CD version of Simon 1)
|
|
compress_simon simon2.voc (For DOS CD version of Simon 2)
|
|
compress_simon simon2.wav (For Windows CD version of Simon 2)
|
|
compress_simon mac (For Macintosh version of Simon 2)
|
|
|
|
For Ogg Vorbis add --vorbis to the options, i.e.
|
|
|
|
compress_simon --vorbis
|
|
|
|
For Flac add --flac and optional parameters, i.e.
|
|
|
|
compress_simon --flac --best -b 1152
|
|
|
|
Eventually you will have a much smaller *.mp3, *.ogg or *.fla file, copy this
|
|
file to your game directory. You can safely remove the old file.
|
|
|
|
7.7.7) Compressing speech/music in Broken Sword 1
|
|
------ ------------------------------------------
|
|
The compress_sword1 tool from the scummvm-tools package can encode music and
|
|
speech to MP3 as well as Ogg Vorbis.
|
|
The easiest way to encode the files is simply copying the executable into your
|
|
BS1 directory (together with the lame encoder) and run it from there.
|
|
This way, it'll automatically encode everything to MP3.
|
|
Afterwards, you can manually remove the SPEECH?.CLU files and the wave music
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
Running "compress_sword1 --vorbis" will compress the files using Ogg Vorbis
|
|
instead of MP3.
|
|
|
|
Use "compress_sword1 --help" to get a full list of the options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.7.8) Compressing speech/music in Broken Sword 2
|
|
------ ------------------------------------------
|
|
Use our compress_sword2 util from the scummvm-tools package to perform this
|
|
task. You can choose between multiple target formats, but note that you can
|
|
only use each if ScummVM was compiled with the respective decoder support
|
|
enabled.
|
|
|
|
compress_sword2 speech1.clu
|
|
compress_sword2 music1.clu
|
|
|
|
For Ogg Vorbis add --vorbis to the options, i.e.
|
|
|
|
compress_sword2 --vorbis
|
|
|
|
Eventually you will have a much smaller *.cl3 or *.clg file, copy this file to
|
|
your game directory. You can safely remove the old file.
|
|
|
|
It is possible to use Flac compression by adding the --flac option. However,
|
|
the resulting *.clf file will actually be larger than the original.
|
|
|
|
Please note that compress_sword2 will only work with the four speech/music
|
|
files in Broken Sword 2. It will not work with any of the other *.clu files,
|
|
nor will it work with the speech files from Broken Sword 1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.8) Output sample rate:
|
|
---- -------------------
|
|
The output sample rate tells ScummVM how many sound samples to play per channel
|
|
per second. There is much that could be said on this subject, but most of it
|
|
would be irrelevant here. The short version is that for most games 22050 Hz is
|
|
fine, but in some cases 44100 Hz is preferable. On extremely low-end systems
|
|
you may want to use 11025 Hz, but it's unlikely that you have to worry about
|
|
that.
|
|
|
|
To elaborate, most of the sounds ScummVM has to play were sampled at either
|
|
22050 Hz or 11025 Hz. Using a higher sample rate will not magically improve the
|
|
quality of these sounds. Hence, 22050 Hz is fine.
|
|
|
|
Some games use CD audio. If you use compressed files for this, they are
|
|
probably sampled at 44100 Hz, so for these games that may be a better choice of
|
|
sample rate.
|
|
|
|
When using the Adlib, FM Towns, PC Speaker or IBM PCjr music drivers, ScummVM
|
|
is responsible for generating the samples. Usually 22050 Hz will be plenty for
|
|
these, but there is at least one piece of Adlib music in Beneath a Steel Sky
|
|
that will sound a lot better at 44100 Hz.
|
|
|
|
Using frequencies in between is not recommended. For one thing, your sound card
|
|
may not support it. In theory, ScummVM should fall back on a sensible frequency
|
|
in that case, but don't count on it. More importantly, ScummVM has to resample
|
|
all sounds to its output frequency. This is much easier to do well if the
|
|
output frequency is a multiple of the original frequency.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8.0) Configuration file:

|
9.0) Compiling:
|
|
---- ----------
|
|
You need SDL-1.2.2 or newer (older versions may work, but are unsupported), and
|
|
a supported compiler. Several compilers, including GCC, mingw and Microsoft
|
|
Visual C++ are supported. If you wish to use MP3-compressed CD tracks or
|
|
.SOU files, you will need to install the MAD library and define
|
|
USE_MAD. Tools for compressing .SOU files to .SO3 files can be
|
|
found in the 'tools' SVN module, or in the 'scummvm-tools' package.
|
|
|
|
Some parts of ScummVM, particularly scalers, have highly optimized versions
|
|
written in assembler. If you wish to use this option, you will need to install
|
|
nasm assembler (see http://nasm.sf.net). Note, that currently we have only x86
|
|
MMX optimized versions, and they will not compile on other processors.
|
|
|
|
On Win9x/NT/XP you can define USE_WINDBG and attach WinDbg to browse debug
|
|
messages (see http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/debugview.shtml).
|
|
|
|
GCC:
|
|
* Type ./configure
|
|
* Type make (or gmake, or gnumake, depending on what GNU make is
|
|
called on your system) and hopefully ScummVM will compile for you.
|
|
|
|
Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0:
|
|
* Open the workspace, scummwm.dsw
|
|
* Enter the path to the needed libraries and includes in
|
|
Tools|Options|Directories
|
|
* Now it should compile successfully.
|
|
|
|
Microsoft Visual C++ 7.0:
|
|
* Open the solution file scummwm.sln
|
|
* Enter the path to the needed libraries and includes in
|
|
Tools|Options|Projects|VC++ Directories
|
|
* Now it should compile successfully.
|
|
|
|
Windows Mobile with Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 3 or 4 :
|
|
* Download SDL with additional Windows Mobile tweaks:
|
|
http://arisme.free.fr/ports/SDL.php
|
|
* Download additional third party libraries:
|
|
http://arisme.free.fr/ports
|
|
* Modify your include and library paths accordingly in EVC3/EVC4.
|
|
* Open the ScummVM project dists\msevc4\PocketSCUMM.vcw
|
|
* Modify the libraries and config parameters if necessary.
|
|
* Now it should compile successfully.
|
|
|
|
Debian GNU/Linux:
|
|
* Install the packages 'build-essential', 'fakeroot', 'debhelper',
|
|
and 'libsdl1.2-dev' on your system.
|
|
* Install any of these packages (optional): 'libvorbis-dev' (for Ogg
|
|
Vorbis support), 'libasound2-dev' (for ALSA sequencer support),
|
|
'libmad0-dev' (for MAD MP3 support), 'zlib1g-dev' (for compressed
|
|
saves support).
|
|
* Run 'make deb'.
|
|
* Finally run 'dpkg -i ../scummvm-cvs*deb', and you're done.
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X:
|
|
* Make sure you have the developer tools installed.
|
|
* The SDL developer package for OS X available on the SDL web site is
|
|
_not_ suitable. Rather, you require a unix-style build of SDL. One
|
|
way to get that is to install SDL via Fink (http://fink.sf.net).
|
|
Alternatively you could compile SDL manually from source using its
|
|
unix build system (configure && make).
|
|
* Type ./configure in the ScummVM directory
|
|
* You can now type 'make' to create a command line binary.
|
|
* To get a version you can run from Finder, type 'make bundle' which
|
|
will create ScummVM.app (this only works if you installed SDL
|
|
etc. via Fink and into /sw. If you have installed SDL
|
|
in another way, you'll have to edit the Makefile).
|
|
|
|
AmigaOS 4 (Cross-compiling with Cygwin):
|
|
* Make sure that you have SDL installed, you may also need
|
|
libogg, libvorbis, libvorbisfile, zlib, libmad.
|
|
* Type ./configure --host=ppc-amigaos
|
|
* If you got an error about sdl-config, use --with-sdl-prefix
|
|
parameter to set the path.
|
|
* Check 'config.mak' file and if everything seems to fine:
|
|
* Run 'make'.
|
|
* Cross-compiling with Linux may be as easy.
